HC Deb 06 May 1936 vol 311 c1710W
Mr. McGOVERN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the total amount of expenses incurred by Chief Constable Keith, of the Lanarkshire Police Force, in his law case with Mrs. Robertson; and if the expenses have been borne by himself or if the Lanarkshire County Council have paid or are considering the paying of them?

Sir G. COLLINS

I am informed that the costs of the chief constable in connection with the action brought against him by Mrs. Robertson amount to £1,780 2s. 5d., and that the Lanarkshire Council Council have decided to pay these costs so far as they are not recovered from Mrs. Robertson.
